Strays and Waifs

Cli-fi writer and climate activist Bella Goodfellow wants to save the world, but how can she do that when she can’t even save herself? Forced from her hideaway after a landslide swallows it whole, she finds temporary accommodation with her publisher’s elderly aunt on the Kapiti Coast. But lilac-eyed Freyja is not what she seems, and soon Bella’s flung into a crazy scheme to expose a murderer and rescue a child. There’s just one problem – before they can act Bella has to believe what Freyja is telling her … and reopen her heart to her painful past.
